Conjecture Find linear transformation construction of primitive pythagorean n-tuple tree!

Primitive pythagorean n-tuple is a n-tuple $(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},...,a_{n})$ such that $a_{1}^2 + a_{2}^2 + a_{3}^2 + ... + a_{n-1}^2 = a_{n}^2$

and the greatest common divisor of $(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},...,a_{n})$ is 1.

Is there any other linear transformation construction of primitive pythagorean triple tree?

Moreover, find linear transformation construction of primitive pythagorean n-tuple tree!
